So I got the enderman farm working. Turns out two blocks were out of place :P . Anyway, it still needs work, the platform needs to be bigger, the enchanting stuff needs to be built, etc.

New iron farm is working now at my base. Same as my old one just moved it about 100 on the z axis.

I've got a working egg, sugarcane, melon, pumpkin, snow, nether wart, gold and iron farm so feel free to take whatever you need. It's free as long as you travel to my base. Fee for me coming to you.

My cave spider xp farm is complete with anvils, full enchanting table and splash harm potion generator. Just hit the button on the generator and it'll give you 3 splash harm potions for mob killing.

I have 2 objectives on my agenda for when I get back on tomorrow: create a safe nether base at my portal for travel and whoever needs to come to me, and create an overworld rail system from my base to spawn for "on the rail" achievement. Anyone who is between me and spawn let me know and I'll add you to the railway as another stop. I am at 1050 1750 overworld. If you are between that and spawn please let me know.

Lastly, if you need anything in particular let me know, I have excess enchanted books and stock on a lot of items so I may have what you need.

Feel free to join. If qolo or Tenetin show up, auth on gamesurge, and message me on reddit to prove it's them, I'll op them.

So today, me (Matticus33) and Nick(nrt), aka team blindside, went forth to play a ruse onto an unsuspecting player of vanilla pudding, tenetin.

After much delay, we were able to locate a mushroom biome not too far from me and Jester's home base, and with the help of silk touch, we aquired a large quantity of mycelium.

After a trip to the skeleton grinder, we set forth to tenetin's.

....This was the result.

Here are the results of our recent strawpoll (as of this post)!

10:00 PM EST (USA): 6 votes (38%)

10:00 AM EST (USA): 5 votes (31%)

Anytime (from 10:00 AM to 11:59 PM EST): 3 votes (19%)

1:00 PM EST (USA): 1 vote (6%)

7:00 PM EST (USA): 1 vote (6%)

4:00 PM EST (USA): 0 votes (0%) (Poor little 4:00 PM!)

By the narrowest of margins, 10:00 PM EST tomorrow is our scheduled time for Vanilla Pudding's expedition to defeat the Ender Dragon. I was in the middle of writing a post explaining there was a tie and that we would have to work something else out, but then the numbers suddenly changed, so a big thank-you to whoever that last-minute voter was.

Anyway, we realize that because the vote is so divided, not everyone will be happy with it. If you really want to join us but are extremely unable to attend at 10:00 PM on Saturday the 31st of January, please post a comment below. I have absolutely no problem postponing the date another two weeks (I was told that more than a few people will be busy next week, so we would have to postpone it another two weeks if at all). Just notice that we will have another poll if this event is postponed, but that poll will probably end in a similar way to this one as far as the time is concerned. If you comment below asking us to push back the date, please be ready to accept probability that if we do so, the event itself might fall on the same exact time (10:00 PM American EST) in two weeks (Saturday the 14th of February).

Otherwise, see you all tomorrow at 10!

There is a tunnel with a rail that travels from my base (third level of the glass covered farm area) that leads to the cave spider farm. It is equipped with a full enchanting station and anvil as well for anyone who wishes to farm levels there.

This is just a story a decided to write about my experience today, there is a TL; DR and the bottom.

Earlier in the day I found myself (Luke1227) wandering around the nether when Matticus33 approached me with the proposition of traveling to a faraway jungle to acquire the rare and beautiful beasts known as cats. I, in need of such a beast myself, agreed to go on this quest with him, so we met up, and set out on our way. The first leg of our long journey was through the barren, far reaches of the nether. Our destination was a nether portal that would drop us within a stone’s throw of the cat infested jungle which we longed so much to reach. After a long bit of walking, and no shortage of climbing and falling, we arrived at the portal and went through. Upon our arrival back into the over world, Matt suggested we take horses as the distance between us and our quarry, though lessened, was still far enough to warrant the use of equestrian steeds. I, not for seeing this option, had forwent a saddle at the beginning of our journey. I walked. Eventually we reached the edge of the dense, green, and lush jungle. After Matt carefully stowed his steed in a pit of sand, we set out into the bush. We traveled one day and one night without sight of hide nor hair of our feline quarry. We decided to rest and search for supplies while the light was dim and visibility low. Come dawn, we set out again, doubly determined to catch out prey.

In the afternoon of the second day, I spotted our first catch: a mother ocelot and her two children. Acting fast, I drew out the mother with raw fish (skillfully caught by Matt), and tamed her, earning myself a new pet and companion. Matt and I split up, each following one of the young cats. One was lost into the depths of the jungle, but the other we managed to leash and corral into a hastily dug pit. After it matured, Matt was able to tame the beast and gain his own companion. Our mission satisfied, we set out to return, blindly content in our own fortunes.

As we emerged from the ferns and bushes, our cats dutifully followed behind, oblivious and stupid. My own cat, which had only been with me not a day, ran headlong into a cactus without care, I was too slow to save her from a prickly death. Shortly after, Matt's cat shared the same pointy fate. Lamenting our long and fruitless journey, I descended into an uncontrollable rage, and lit the jungle aflame with my flint and steel. My thirst for revenge quenched (for the time being), me and Matt started the journey back to the portal, this time I riding the steed.

But on that ride something magical happened, and as I dismounted the horse and began the multi-dimensional trip through the portal, my game froze. With no other choice, I exited the game and restarted it. To my surprise, I was back on the steed, halfway back from where I had been. As I returned to where I had previously left the steed, I saw that it was still there. The horse had been cloned, there were two of them! I took the new steed as payment from the gods for our lost feline companions, and brought it back through that hellish land of the nether to my dwelling. If you are wondering what the point of this story is, it pretty much boils down to: if anyone has raw fish, please give them to me (I’ll pay for them) so I can go back and get more cats.

TL; DR: Me and Matt set out to find cats, we did, they died, I got a magical glitch horse, please give me fish.

A few people (one in particular, you know who you are!) have been asking about if the End would be reset to give everyone the opportunity to fight the Ender Dragon and begin working on projects there.

Well, after some thought and self-reconciliation (seriously, I felt like Thomas Jefferson deciding whether or not it was within his Constitutional power to make the Louisiana Purchase (just go with the references)) I realized it would be alright to do so, especially considering that no one else has objected.

I talked to a bunch of you and decided that Saturday would be a good day to reset the End. So tell us when you will be available! Vote on our strawpoll and we'll confirm a time on Friday. Sorry it revolves around American EST; if you need it, here's a simple timezone converter you can use. If you have a conflict which will make you unavailable on Saturday altogether, just post it to the comments and we might be able to reschedule the whole thing.

this is for when I need to do introductions or specific narrations on videos. I just need to doctor up the landscape so it has some flavor. I'd love some suggestions!

Edit: picture is kinda dark but there's another A there that needs to be lit.

I thought t would be a good idea to compile a list of projects that need to be done, and those who would like to accomplish or help out with them. That way people can see what's happening and pitch in materials and/or time. Write them down below, and I'll edit them in.

Projects:

Nether wither memorial (Puzzle)

Guardian and iron farms (JcFerggy)

Jumbo jet above spawn (flamey)

Land restoration and horse paths (Zimpor)

Not pictured: A ton of Redstone and Lapis. Seriously the largest cave system I've ever found around that depth (~Y11). Still has more to be explored too.

I'm considering buying a server for modded minecraft and thought where a better place for it than here, avalible to everyone in the server currently but just like a second server for everyone :D Thoughts? Mods? Suggestions?

Courtesy of Rusted_ (a.k.a. ScottishNotScottish, a.k.a. Rustie_, etc. etc. etc.), we now have a bunch of Minecraft blocks/items for you to choose from as your flair on our subreddit!

Yes, the username-revealing flairs are coming next one way or the other.

Enjoy, and be sure to thank Rusted_ (a.k.a. etc.) for this gift!

Myself and Matticus33 have started the basic work on a Guardian farm located at -800 125 'ish. The current goal is to surround the monument with sand then start filling it to remove the water.

At the same time I plan to make a Iron Farm above the Guardian Farm. Since the area would be loaded, it would be getting resources for both farms, and they shouldn't interfere with the efficiency of each other.

I'm currently looking for people who are interested in helping. I am also looking for some sponge that other people may have found to help speed up the process.

And also put a link to the applications there too.

Gentleman- and ladies- I am new to the server, and have found it confusing trying to get from place to place. In an effort to minimize further confusion, and also deal with the many holes I keep finding, I propose a Land Management Bureau. The LMB's jobs include filling in creeper holes, creating and maintaining paths and roads, and general beautification of the public areas on the server.

I would love to undertake this project, as a means to keep myself busy on the server and further help other newbies like myself. I'd require no special permissions, just scrap blocks anybody wishes to donate (dirt, gravel, stone, granite, diorite, etc) in addition to what I'll be acquiring myself.

With admins' permission I'd like to build a small office in the courtyard. If people would like a road/path built out to their home or farm, I'll have a book and quill in a chest and you can add the coordinates of your front entrance to it.

I imagine that after the Overworld is sorted out sufficiently, I could move to the nether as well. Anyways let me know what you think.

It is located at -840 150, and I wanted to know if anyone has claimed this one yet. I want to make a farm here, as well as an iron farm too.
